Identity theft

Adams police is investigating an identity theft complaint. The officer said a 23-year old Adams woman had gone to the County Department of Health and Human Services to apply for benefits through the State. An agency check showed the woman had earned just over 9-thousand dollars making her ineligible for benefits. Investigation revealed the woman’s Social Security number had been used illegally by a worker at a company in Sturtevant in Racine County. Police have requested a court ordered subpoena of records from the company to obtain the person or persons using the victim’s Social Security number.
